How do I stop using "thumbs.db" in Windows 7?
I know how to disable them in previous os's, in the folder options. But in Windows 7, the option to stop caching thumbnails isn't there. Does anyway know a possible registry hack to turn them off?
The reason I want them gone is because many times I want to delete a directory and I can't because the darn thumbs.db file is in use. I have to close the window and reopen it and delete it a second time.
